Written marking is time-consuming, so much so that many secondary schools have moved to policies of zero written marking with an emphasis on verbal feedback instead. In 2021, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) published their much-anticipated guidance report: Teacher feedback to improve pupil learning.

Read about these principles and how to apply them to your practice to become a better teacher and improve student results.
